"Update February 28/2025 Costas "Gus" Mathews is the owner and cook of this amazing diner. He started working here back in 1974. You can feel his pride in ownership and the history of the diner in his attitude and cooking. I've never seen him write a order down and he always gets the orders right even when the diner is packed and busy. The food here is very comforting and they have a great menu.Thanks for everything Gus. Update June 22/2023 Always great food served fast. Nice laid back atmosphere. Try the yellow pea soup for a nice treat. Update: January 04/2022 Still one of my favorite diners. Wonderful breakfast as always. I had the western omelette, bacon, breakfast potatoes, rye toast and hot coffee today. The food was hot, yummy and healthy sized portions. The service is always friendly and fast. The atmosphere is 100% authentic American diner. Down to earth people, comfortable and safe. Very clean. Nice and warm in there on this cold day. They also have a extensive menu with daily specials. Family friendly. Good people. Good food. Definatley one of my favorite diners. Delicious breakfast hot off the grill, made right everytime. Yummy comfort food.

"I can't tell you how much my wife and I enjoyed Al's Diner! Cute little diner in Chicopee MA. Our server MaryAnn was a delight and made our visit even more enjoyable. Feels like home when your there even with a cuss word or two! The food came out fast, good-tasting and filling. If nostalgia is what your looking for, this is the place! One more thing; the bathrooms are clean and are a little small. Think airplane or bus size;)"
